Privacy Policy
About our Services
Introduction:
Power Parts International (PPI) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This Privacy Policy applies to collection, usage, storage and transit of data via our Websites, (for example, powerpartsinc.com or any website on which this notice is posted)), through any communications you have with us, and through the PPI mobile application (collectively referred to as (“our Services”). We do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive information from children.
Third-Party Links
Our Websites may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. When you visit a page that includes one of these sharing tools, the third-party company that operates the tool may be collecting information about your browser, device, and online activity through its own tracking technologies and subject to its own separate privacy policy. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our Websites, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.
Powerpartsinc.com Websites
The PPI Websites are meant to provide individuals with information about the PPI company, its products, services, and other information. We provide this site to help educate our consumers and to communicate with them if necessary. Through our Websites, we may collect information about you. This policy discusses how we handle that information.
How We Collect and Use (Process) Your Personal Information
We collect several different types of personal data, which is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, from you depending on how you interact with our Services. Some of the personal data we request from you is required in order for you to use our Services, including ordering products and/or services through them. If you do not wish to provide such personal data to us, you are not obligated to, but you may not be able to use particular features of our Websites, including ordering products, as a result. Below are some examples of where and how we collect personal data from you.
- Purchasing a Product.
When you attempt to order a product offered on our Websites, we collect your email address, shipping address, billing address, payment card or account information, and other payment information and keep a history of your purchases. We use this information for purposes such as to process your orders, to better assist you when you visit or contact us in the future, as well as to improve our product offerings when we send you information about these in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For certain products, we direct you to the website of a sales representative in the country you indicate. The sale of the product is made by the sales representative and not by PPI. You are encouraged to review the privacy policy for that sales representative.
- Submitting a Ticket.
As a support feature to our customers, we allow you to submit a ticket with us regarding product support. When doing so, we request that you provide us with certain information, including your email address, country of location, the model and serial number of the printer you are referencing, and any other information you may provide related to the support request. We collect that information to communicate with you, to help provide you with the proper support, and to facilitate the provision of service to you. We may send you an email in response to the ticket at the email provided to us by you.
- Emailing Us.
You may email us with questions, comments, or requests at the emails provided. When you do, we process your email address and any information you provide in the email to help respond to your email. Depending on the content of the email, we may process that information for additional purposes in order to fulfill any requests in your email. We will also contact you in response.
5.Order Status.
You may look up your order by entering your order number and email into the form provided. We use this information to check on your order status and to provide you with information about your order. We may share this information with various third-parties, including the reseller of your order, to help determine the status of your order.
- Signing Up For Newsletters.
When you sign up for a newsletter, we process your email address to provide you with the newsletter email. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe button contained in the email or by contacting us at Sales@powerpartsinc.com
- Providing Feedback.
We also allow our visitors to share feedback with us. You may choose whether or not to provide feedback, but if you do, we will collect that information and use it (a) to understand and consider the feedback given; (b) to act on or in response to any feedback given; (c) to respond to your feedback; or (d) in any other way we may deem appropriate, including sharing it with third parties where we deem it appropriate. We will not use the name and address you provide us when sharing feedback for any direct or third-party marketing.
- Automatically When Using the Websites
As is typical of most other websites, the Websites collect certain information automatically and store it in log files. We use this information to help us design our Websites to better suit our users’ needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Website, analyze trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences. To the extent you use a mobile application, we may also collect geolocation data, a feature that can be turned on or off by you through your mobile device permissions settings. The website may also use cookies and web beacons.
- Cookies.
Our Website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users. A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser Cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our website. These “cookies” can be divided into 4 types each of which is outlined below:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential in order to enable the site to provide services you have asked for such as remembering your shopping bag items.
Performance Cookies: This type collects anonymous information on how people use the site and the data is merged with other users to enable us to improve how the site operates. The data stored by these cookies never shows personal details from which your individual identity can be established.
Functionality Cookies: These remember choices you make such as language, search parameters such as size, color or product line. These can then be used to provide you with an experience more appropriate with your selections and make the visits more tailored and pleasant.
Targeting Cookies or Advertising Cookies: These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising relevant to you and your interests. They remember the websites you have visited and that information is shared with other parties such as advertisers.
The website does not track users when they cross to third-party websites, does not provide targeted advertising to them, and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. The information we collect automatically is statistical data and does not include personal information, but we may maintain it or associate it with personal information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our website and to deliver a better and more personalized service.
Flash Cookies
Certain features of our Websites may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our Websites. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s website. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purposes of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Google allows users to opt-out of tracking by Google Analytics and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting services. You can adjust your setting here, or download the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

To our subsidiaries, affiliates, and sales representatives.
To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to provide our services to you.
To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about our Website users is among the assets transferred.

To enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes.
If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information
We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:
Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.
Promotional Offers from Us. If you do not wish to have your email address/contact information used by us to promote our own or third parties’ products or services, you can opt-out by unsubscribing, logging into the website and adjusting your user preferences in your account profile by checking or unchecking the relevant boxes, or by sending us an email stating your request. If we have sent you a promotional email, you may send us a return email asking to be omitted from future email distributions. This opt-out does not apply to information provided to us as a result of a product purchase, warranty registration, product service experience or other transactions.
Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from inadvertent or unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction. No method of data storage or data transmission over the internet, however, is guaranteed to be completely secure. Your use of our Websites, and any personal information that you transmit over the internet to our Websites, is at your own risk.
Data storage and retention
Your personal data is stored by us on our servers, and on the servers of the cloud-based database management services we engage in, located in the United States. We retain data for the duration of the customer’s or member’s business relationship with us. For more information on where and how long your personal data is stored, and for more information on your rights of erasure and portability, please contact us using the information provided below.
Visitors From Outside the United States
If you are visiting our Websites from outside the United States (“U.S.”), any information you voluntarily provide via the PPI Websites and/or app, and any technical information from the browser of your computer, tablet or mobile device will be transferred out of your country and into the U.S., where we are located. The laws and protections available to the privacy of your personal information in the U.S. may significantly differ from the protections available in your country. Personal data transferred to the U.S. may be subject to lawful access requests by state and federal authorities in the U.S. If you do not want any personal information to be transferred to the U.S., please do not provide that information to our firm via our PPI platform.
Visitors From the European Union
We are the data controller for any personal information provided via the PPI platform. We do not have a data protection officer in the EU. Any information that you provide us will be stored in the United States. We do not intend to transfer your personal data to another country or international organization.
We will retain any personal information that you provide via our PPI Cloud platform for so long as is necessary for the purposes for which you submitted it, or for seven (7) years from the date you provided or last updated that information unless you request that information be deleted at an earlier date. If that information is subject to a litigation hold or is required to assert or defend a legal claim, we will hold that information until the claim or action is finally resolved.
Under the GDPR, individuals are granted the following rights:
Right of Access
You have the right to ask what personal information we have about you in our possession. You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal data free of charge so long as it does not adversely affect the rights of others. We may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs for additional copies. The right of access includes the right to request that we update, correct or complete your personal information in our possession.
Right of Erasure
You have a right to request that data be deleted or erased when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or processed, when you withdraw your consent, when data is unlawfully processed, to comply with a legal obligation of the EU or a Member State, or when you object to the processing and we are unable to demonstrate compelling, legitimate grounds for the processing that overrides your rights, freedoms or interests. Personal data does not have to be erased when and to the extent it is necessary “for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.”
Right to Restrict Processing
You have a right to restrict the processing of your personal data when you contest the accuracy of the personal data in our possession until we are able to verify its accuracy if the processing is unlawful and you oppose its erasure and request restriction instead.
Right to Data Portability
The right to data portability is triggered when processing activity was based on your consent or was necessary for the performance of a contract, and the processing was carried out by automated means. This right, however, shall not adversely affect the rights of others.
Automated Decision-Making
You have the right to not be subjected to decision-making based solely on automated processing or profiling that either significantly affects you or results in some sort of legal effect. This right does not apply to decisions that are necessary for entering into or performing a contract with you or are based on your explicit consent.
Right to Object to Processing
You have the right to object to processing when it is based on a “legitimate interest” of the controller or a third party, or to processing that occurs for direct marketing purposes.
Withdrawing Your Consent
Contact our firm’s General Counsel as explained at the end of this Privacy Policy.
Right to Complain
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority about our data privacy practices where you reside.
How to Exercise These Rights
You can exercise these rights by contacting us as explained at the end of this Privacy Policy. We will review any requests we receive and will endeavor to respond in a timely manner. For security reasons, we may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity before taking action on any request, and to ensure your right of access and that the exercise of any GDPR right of yours does not adversely affect the rights of others.
We reserve the right to refuse to act on a request or to charge a reasonable administrative fee when a request is either manifestly unfounded or excessive because of its repetitive character.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you by email to the primary email address specified in your account and/or through a notice on the Websites’s home page. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Websites and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
